"Media... Gold or Silver or Bronze?"
4/4/08: I know you guys saw me taking all those
pics of you. And you were probably wondering... Hey, when is he going to
put them on News Blab so we can use them in our FaceBook and MySpace pages?
Yes, I know you do that... and that's great... cause that's what it's all
about... sharing! So... here's just a few of the ones I took the day you
were covering the "not-so-surprising" USOC announcement to stay in Colorado
Springs. Enjoy...

"AMR to go back to ordering Fords"
A News Blab Exclusive

4/3/08: If given a choice... in a real medical
emergency, would you rather be taken to the hospital in a Ford or a Chevy?
Okay... now that we have determined if you favor Ford or Chevy, let's make it a
bit more interesting. If given a choice... in a real medical emergency and
time was of the essence, would you rather be taken to the hospital in the
ambulance that was first dispatched to you, and gets to you as quickly as
possible or would you like to be taken to the hospital by a second ambulance
that had to be dispatched from farther away, because the first ambulance could
only go 20 mph because the engine sensors detected a condition that didn't allow
it to go any faster?
NO... this is not a trick question. It's
one that AMR personnel had to weigh when they decided to go with Ford vans
during their next purchase cycle, rather than Chevy's, like the ones bought
during their last purchase.
An AMR spokesperson announced to ESA Board
Members at yesterdays meeting, that AMR would once again be purchasing Ford vans
for their ambulance service fleet instead of Chevys, as they had in the recent
past. It was mentioned that even though the problems experienced with
earlier Fords were bad, the same problems which then prompted an all Chevy buy,
those Ford problems were not as bad as AMR has been experiencing with the
recently purchased Chevy vans. The sensor problem was just one example
mentioned.
So... AMR is looking out for the patient... and
that's a good thing!
